Occupy Wall Street, Occupy Manchester

The Occupy movement began at Wall Street not long 
ago and has spread like a virus all around the world, including Occupy Manchester! 

The Occupy protesters are fighting against worldwide corruption, which seems to be on the rise even in developed countries. 

Passing the Occupy Manchester on my commute to university, I became curious about what was happening behind the large, purple banner, nailed to a few trees. 


On Wednesday 12th October after having only four hours of sleep, me and my 'production crew' set off to interview members of Occupy Manchester. 

It was cold, dismal and wet. I entered the muddy, damp park, with worn out tents dotted about; in my black, suede, knee high boots and Selfridges, fur trimming coat. My associates found it difficult to move around in their high, heeled brogues and glitzy handbags. 

I learnt that the Occupy movement is the "mouth" of the public. Their purpose is to bring back morality, to be humane. Their means to attain their objective are friendly and inspiring.

We live in a democratic society, yet we are forced to conform to unjust decisions. Arab Spring is evident of fighting against corrupt leaders. If Egypt, Tunisia and Libya can do it, so can we. It is our time to introduce real democracy!
